Right click? Hulloh?
Authored by: escowles on Dec 14, '02 08:17:05AM
Actually, Macs are the odd-man-out here. Every other mouse-equipped system I've used has at least two mouse buttons. Of course, Macs are often the oddball (like with their multi-fork files and heavy reliance on non-portable filesystem metadata).

Regardless, on every system (including Macs with multi-button mouses) the right mouse button is the standard for contextual menus. I think anyone who isn't being willfully oblivious will understand that he meant "bring up the contextual menu in the normal way".
